The literature (EP-A 385 357) discloses naphthyl ethers containing an aryloxy-, arylthio- or arylalkoxyalkyl ether function as fungicides.

It is an object of the present invention to provide novel naphthyl ethers having an improved and widened spectrum of action.

We have found that this object is achieved by the naphthyl ethers I defined at the outset. We have additionally found processes for the preparation of the naphthyl ethers I, compositions containing them and their use for the control of animal pests or harmful fungi.

The compounds according to the invention are accessible in various ways known from the literature in a similar manner. Starting from 1-naphthol (II), the compounds I where Y is oxygen are obtained, preferably according to one of the processes compiled in the following reaction scheme: ##STR3## (Y=oxygen)

The synthesis of the compounds I where Y is oxygen in each case comprises

A) the acylation of the 2-position of the naphthyl ring system (reaction of II with III);

B) introduction of the group Z (reaction of IV to give V); by

1. a Wittig or Wittig-like reaction of the alpha-ketocarbonyl group for compounds I where Z is CHOCH₃, CHCH₃ or CHCH₂ CH₃ or

2. reaction with O-methylhydroxylamine or with hydroxylamine and subsequent methylation for compounds I where Z is NOCH₃ ;

C1) the etherification of the naphthol in one stage (reaction of V to give I) or

C2) the etherification of the naphthol in two stages (reaction of V via VII to give I).

The corresponding compounds I, where Y is an unsubstituted or substituted nitrogen atom, are obtained by reaction of compounds V, VII or I, where Y is oxygen, with an appropriate amine.

The reactions are customarily specifically carried out as follows. In the following reaction equations the groups not involved in the reaction concerned are in each case abbreviated by --# (for the 2-position of the naphthyl ring) or --O*, (for the 1-position of the naphthyl ring).

A) The acylation of the 2-position of the naphthyl ring system (reaction of II with III) ##STR4## {Hal=halogen, in particular chlorine}

The naphthol II is acylated by reaction with methyl oxalyl halides, in particular the chloride, in a manner known per se (Piccolo et al., Tetrahedron 42, 885 (1986); EP-A 385 357) in an inert organic solvent (eg. dichloroethane) in the presence of a Lewis acid (eg. titanium tetrachloride).

As a result of the preparation, the naphthyl ethers of the formula I can be obtained as E/Z isomer mixtures on account of the C═C or C═N double bonds. The isomeric compounds can be separated into the isomerically pure compounds in a customary manner by crystallization or chromatography. Both the isomer mixtures and the isomerically pure compounds can be used in the manner according to the invention for the control of animal pests and harmful fungi.

The compounds I are distinguished by an outstanding activity against a broad spectrum of phytopathogenic fungi, in particular from the Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes classes. They are systemically active in some cases and can be employed as foliar and soil fungicides.

They are of particular importance for the control of a multiplicity of fungi on various crop plants such as wheat, rye, barley, oats, rice, corn, grass, cotton, soybeans, coffee, sugar cane, grapes, fruit and decorative plants and vegetable plants such as cucumbers, beans and Cucurbitaceae, and on the seeds of these plants.

They are specifically suitable for the control of the following plant diseases:

Erysiphe graminis (powdery mildew) in cereals, Erysiphe cichoracearum and Sphaerotheca fuliginea on Cucurbitaceae, Podosphaera leucotricha on apples, Uncinula necator on vines, Puccinia species on cereals, Rhizoctonia species on cotton and lawns, Ustilago species on cereals and sugar cane, Venturia inaequalis (scab) on apples, Helminthosporium species on cereals, Septoria nodorum on wheat, Botrytis cinerea (gray mold) on strawberries, vines, Cercospora arachidicola on groundnuts, Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides on wheat, barley, Pyricularia oryzae on rice, Phytophthora infestans on potatoes and tomatoes, Fusarium and Verticillium species on various plants, Plasmopara viticola on vines, Alternaria species on vegetables and fruit.

The compounds I are applied by treating the fungi or the plants, seeds, materials or the soil to be protected from fungal attack with a fungicidally effective amount of the active compounds. They are applied before or after the infection of the materials, plants or seeds by the fungi.

They can be converted into the customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, suspensions, dusts, powders, pastes and granules. The application form depends on the particular intended use; they should in any case guarantee a fine and uniform dispersion of the naphthyl ether. The formulations are prepared in a known manner, eg. by extending the active compound with solvents and/or carriers, if desired using emulsifiers and dispersants, it also being possible to use other organic solvents as auxiliary solvents when water is used as a diluent. Suitable auxiliary substances for this purpose are essentially: solvents such as aromatics (eg. xylene), chlorinated aromatics (eg. chlorobenzenes), paraffins (eg. mineral oil fractions), alcohols (eg. methanol, butanol), ketones (eg. cyclohexanone), amines (eg. ethanolamine, dimethylformamide) and water; carriers such as ground natural minerals (eg. kaolins, argillaceous earths, talc, chalk) and ground synthetic minerals (eg. highly disperse silicic acid, silicates); emulsifiers such as nonionic and anionic emulsifiers (eg. polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, alkylsulfonates and arylsulfonates) and dispersants such as lignin-sulfite waste liquors and methylcellulose.

The fungicidal compositions in general contain from 0.1 to 95, preferably from 0.5 to 90, % by weight of active compound.

Depending on the type of effect desired, the application rates are from 0.02 to 3 kg of active compound per ha.

In seed treatment, active compound amounts of from 0.001 to 50 g, preferably 0.01 to 10 g, per kilogram of seed are in general needed.

The compositions according to the invention can also be present as fungicides together with other active compounds in the application form, eg. with herbicides, insecticides, growth regulators, fungicides or alternatively with fertilizers.

On mixing with fungicides, in many cases an increase in the fungicidal spectrum of action is obtained here.

Examples of the biological action

Fungicidal activity

Botrytis cinerea

Paprika seedlings of the variety Neusiedler Ideal Elite having 4-5 well-developed leaves were sprayed with an aqueous active compound suspension until dripping wet. After the spray coating had dried on, the plants were sprayed with a conidia suspension of the fungus Botrytis cinerea. After 5 days at from 22° to 24° C. and high atmospheric humidity, the fungal attack on the leaves was assessed.

In this test the plants treated with 250 ppm of the compounds 1.001 and 1.003 showed an attack of 5%, while in the untreated plants 70% of the leaf surfaces were attacked.

Erysiphe graminis var. tritici (wheat mildew)

Wheat seedlings of the variety Fr uhgold were sprayed with an aqueous active compound suspension until dripping wet. After 24 h the plants were dusted with oidia (spores) of the fungus Erysiphe graminis var. tritici (wheat mildew). After 7 days at from 22° to 24° C. and from 75 to 80% atmospheric humidity the fungal attack on the leaves was assessed.

In this test the plants treated with 250 ppm of the compounds 1.001, 1.002 and 1.003 showed an attack of 15% and less, while in the untreated plants 65% of the leaf surfaces were attacked.
